Unit Story
Oersted
The oersted is a CGS magnetic field strength unit still seen in magnetics and older material data. One oersted is about 79.5775 A/m.
Ampere-turn per meter
Ampere-turn per meter is a practical coil-language form of A/m. More turns or more current can create a stronger magnetizing field. Geometry still matters.

- Rounding
- Displayed to 6 decimal places by default, trimmed for readability. Use Detailed or Scientific for more precision.
- Assumption
- Magnetic field strength conversions use exact SI prefix relationships. One oersted equals 1000 divided by 4 pi amperes per meter, approximately 79.57747154594767 A/m. Field strength is not the same as magnetic flux density; converting between H and B requires material permeability and conditions.
